<div> elements above <form> elements

I'm using a number of search controls in a top of page banner. One of them uses AJAX techniques to suggest terms to the user. This works by showing a hidden positioned div when the onKeyUp event is triggered. My div is always hidden by a form select box beneath it even though I have a z-index: 999 and position: absolute on the div. Is it possible to palce this div above the select elements because if it is I would have thought my CSS would have worked. Many thanks for any suggestions.

Afraid I don't have a link. I'm working on an intranet and have to design against IE6. I did some research though and it would seem that of all the elements html offers, the select element is buggy. Unless you use an iframe, the only thing that will appear on top of a select is another select even with positioning and z-index.
